Contextual Overview

1 All the people of Isra'el came out, from Dan to Be'er-sheva, including Gil‘ad; the community assembled with one accord before Adonai at Mitzpah. 2 The leaders of all the tribes of Isra'el presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, 400,000 foot soldiers armed with swords. 3 Now the people of Binyamin heard that the people of Isra'el had gone up to Mitzpah. The people of Isra'el said, "Tell us, how was this crime committed?" 4 The Levi, the husband of the murdered woman, answered, "I came to Giv‘ah, which belongs to Binyamin, I and my concubine, to stay the night; 5 and the men in Giv‘ah attacked me and surrounded the house I was staying in at night. They wanted to kill me, but instead they raped my concubine to death. 6 I took my concubine's body, cut it into pieces and sent them throughout all the territories belonging to Isra'el ; because they committed a shockingly obscene and degrading crime in Isra'el. 7 Look, you are all people of Isra'el. So discuss what to do, and give your advice here and now." 8 All the people stood up in agreement and said, "None of us will go home to his tent or his house. 9 What we will do now to Giv‘ah is this: we'll draw lots, 10 we'll take ten men out of each hundred throughout all the tribes of Isra'el, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand to collect food for the others. When these come to Giv‘ah in Binyamin, they will avenge the crime that was committed."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city,.... Of Gibeah, even 360,000 men:

knit together as one man; went heart and hand together, united in their sentiments and resolutions, determining to have justice done, or lose their lives in this cause: according to the Jews e, this was on the twenty third of Shebet, which answers to part of January and part of February, on which day a fast was kept on this account.

e Schulchan Aruch, par. 1. c. 580. sect. 2.
